Chapter 178: The Zombie Queen
As soon as he finished speaking, Jingwu took the lead and walked in that direction.
Along the way, the landscape was dilapidated and overgrown with weeds, and one had to carefully check the grass for droppings after every few steps.
Jingwu followed the resentment and soon stopped outside a courtyard.
She walked to the outside of a side room and sensed the source of the resentment.
“That’s where the resentment comes from,” Jingwu said, turning to the three people behind him.
Yue Huai nodded, looking at the dilapidated wooden door that was half-open. The room was dimly lit, and he could vaguely see that the furniture inside was covered in dust and cobwebs were everywhere.
He intended to go in and take a look, but as soon as he reached the door and before he could even push it open, he felt a wave of resentment coming from behind him.
"Get out of the way!"
Jingwu was the first to dodge to the side, and the other three quickly followed suit.
She turned her head and saw a white-haired woman appear out of nowhere at the door.
The woman wore a dark red robe, a silver necklace around her neck, and two silver ornaments around her waist. Her face was frighteningly pale, and her lips were painted with bright red rouge.
Jingwu looked at her clothes and immediately realized that they were Miao clothing. He frowned slightly, trying to guess the identity of the person in front of him.
She must be the Miao woman that the general abducted.
Jingwu carefully observed her complexion, narrowed his eyes, and immediately noticed something was wrong.
She was under a soul-capturing spell, and her body was being controlled by someone else; she was now like a walking corpse.
"Awu, she's been put under a soul-capturing spell!" Yue Huai noticed this too, his brow furrowing deeply. He leaned close to the girl and whispered, "Be careful."
Jingwu nodded, watching the Miao woman with her head bowed, her white hair casually falling around her face, remaining motionless for a long time.
What is she trying to do? Why is she just standing here without moving?
The other three also found it strange. Zhao Xuanzhou frowned, pressed his fingers against her face, and cast a divination.
Then, his expression became even more serious.
The Miao people are skilled in Gu magic, and they have a technique that can nurture a group of zombies, but it requires the user as the catalyst.
This technique is extremely harmful to the body, and almost no one is willing to do it.
However, if you're being manipulated, that's a different story...
The divination Zhao Xuanzhou had just performed revealed the life trajectory of the woman before him, and also showed that she was using her own life essence to breed a zombie horde.
"Ah Huai, Miss Jing, she's the queen of the zombies, used to breed and feed the zombie horde. Quickly step back, don't get hurt by her!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a faint golden mark appeared between the woman's brows, and her body stiffened as she moved.
Immediately, she raised her eyes, her hands quickly forming hand seals, and her bloodthirsty red lips moved up and down as she chanted an ancient incantation.
The next second, noises came from all directions.
The four looked up and saw countless zombies hopping and leaping toward them.
A hint of panic flashed across Jingwu's face, and he quickly gathered with the other three, thinking of a way to deal with the situation.
She quickly took Xiaoqing out of the Qiankun bag, intending to control her to kill the zombies, but then she heard Zhao Xuanzhou speak up beside her.
"Ah Huai, protect me! I'm going to set up the Five Elements Formation and wipe them all out!"
"Yes, Master." Upon hearing this, Yue Huai immediately went to his master's side to protect him.
On the other side, Yun Zhaohui was in a defensive stance, preventing the zombies from attacking his master and fellow disciples who were setting up the formation.
Seeing this, Jingwu also controlled Xiaoqing to drive back several zombies that were nearby.
As the fan spun, a powerful cyan light burst forth, knocking down all the zombies in the nearest circle.
A hint of envy flashed in Jingwu's eyes. It really was an ancient artifact; its power was simply too great.
Just as she was about to control Xiaoqing to continue the attack, she heard a voice behind her.
"Alright, let's lure the zombies over." Zhao Xuanzhou stood up, his face somewhat pale.
He held a peach wood sword, his eyes fixed firmly on the zombies around him.
Upon hearing this, Jingwu immediately joined forces with Yue Huai to lure the zombie over.
The two worked in perfect harmony, and as soon as they saw the zombie had entered the formation, they immediately retreated.
The moment the formation was activated, Jingwu quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations.
Immediately, streams of cyan magic emerged from her body and headed towards the sky.
They weave together in dense, impenetrable nets.
The next second, Jingwu manipulated the inescapable net, heading towards the formation.
Just then, all the zombies had been lured into the formation, and a net of heaven and earth covered them, trapping all the zombies inside.
Many zombies raised their arms, intending to hop out, but unexpectedly, as soon as they touched the blue net, it was as if they had encountered a blazing flame, and their skin was burned.
Seeing this, Jingwu's lips curled up slightly, he clapped his hands, and then put his hands on his hips.
Fortunately, her master taught her this spell.
Zhao Xuanzhou's forehead was beaded with sweat as he rapidly activated the formation.
These zombies have long since lost their minds. If they are not dealt with now, they will likely harm people again in the future.
Thinking this, he increased the intensity. After the formation was activated, the white magic instantly transformed into thick vines, which wrapped around the bodies of each zombie and slowly strangled them to death.
Jingwu watched as the zombies screamed in pain, then his body turned into a puddle of black gas, and his pale bones fell to the ground.
She looked at the pile of bones inside the formation and sighed deeply.
Many of these are innocent people from Xiangyun Town!
Jingwu withdrew his gaze and turned his attention to the Miao woman who had become a zombie.
She felt pity for the character in that story, but the specifics would have to be told by her own account.
To restore her to her senses, the Soul-Seizing Curse must be lifted, but this curse was cast by an evil god, and with my current spiritual power, I'm afraid I can't lift it.
but……
Jingwu's eyes darted around, and he gently patted Xiaoqing, talking to her in his mind.
"Xiao Qing, can you transfer some spiritual energy to me?"
"Yes, Master! What are you going to do?" Xiao Qing's cheerful voice rang out instantly.
"I want to try the Soul-Capturing Technique after the freeze is lifted."
Xiaoqing paused for a moment after hearing this, as if thinking for a while, before speaking: "Okay! Then Master, I will transfer spiritual power to you now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jingwu felt a warm force flowing up his arm and into Xiaoqing's body through his hand.
In an instant, she felt her spiritual energy increase, and she immediately felt refreshed.
Jingwu's eyes lit up, and he quickly made hand seals and chanted incantations to dispel the Soul-Capturing Curse.
A cyan spell pierced into the center of the zombie's brow, battling against the mark.
In the end, the cyan magic gradually devoured the golden mark.
The next second, the stiff man's eyes lit up instantly.
